"During  the  war  and  since,  we  have  considered  ignorance  of  the  psychology 
of  other  races  one  of  the  most  serious  defects  of  German  character.  But 
do  not  all  nations  fail  in  their  appreciation  of  the  mass  psychology  of 
other  nations?  The  difficulty  of  applying  the  Golden  Rule  comes  from 
the  fact  that  we  do  net  know  whether  others  really  wrant  us  to  act  to¬ 
wards  them  as  we  would  have  them  act  towards  us.  Most  often  they  do  not. 
Our  idealism  breaks  down  in  application  because  the  line  of  conduct  we 
follow  is  misunderstood  and  resented  by  those  of  different  background 
and  traditions  and  mental  attitude.  Whoever  has  tried  to  do  social 
service  knows  that  the  Golden  Rule  must  be  modified.  Judging  the  re¬ 
actions  of  others  by  your  own  reactions  is  hunting  for  trouble."  -

Introduction 


For  soine  years  the  Department  for  V/orlc  with  Foreign-Bom  Women, 
National  Board,  Young  V/omens  Christian  Association,  has  furnished  its  work¬ 
ers  with  bibliographies  on  racial  backgrounds.  The  present  venture  is  an 
effort  to  formulate  an  outline  of  bibliographical  material  that  will  more 
nearly  serve  the  general  program  interests  of  the  Association  as  a  whole, 
Comnittee  women,  Students,  Girl  Reserves,  industrial  clubs,  secretaries  •  • 
in  all  departments,  are  interested  in  ./orld  Fellowship,  This  handbook 
points  out  to  them  a  pat?!  of  understanding  to  thirty  tliree  of  the  nation¬ 
ality  groups  actually  esgoerlorcing  V/orld  Fellowship  in  fift]y  Internation¬ 
al  Institutes  of  local  Associations, 

It  is  unfair  to  any  group  to  judge  it  upon  the  statements  of  aiSin- 
■^le  writer.  The  Handbook  suggests  comparative  reading  possibilities,  Many 
points  of  viev;  are  presented,,  The  fact  that  any  one  publication  is  listed 
does  not  necessarily 'imply  end-orseiiient*  The  reader  is  not  lead  up  to  the 
narrov/  through,  but  is  turned  into  the  broad  pasture. 


The  Importance  of  a  l/Eip 

Alv/ays  use  a  map  as  a  backgroiuid  for  reading.  Do  not  use  maps 
mde  before  the  V/orld  ./ar.  Even  post-vB.r  maps  are  cioanging  and  it  is  there¬ 
fore  best  to  use  those  of  recent  date,  liaps  easily  accessible  are  listed. 


Some  Program  Hints 

I.  The  individual  Reading  Course.  -  Read  topically,  Many  travel  books 
refer  to  food  on  one  page  and  history  on  the  next.  In  order  to  really  ac¬ 
quire  facts  the  reader  must  classify  this  scattered  infonmtion.  Study  the 
classification,  of  this  outline  and  fit  new  information  into  the  plan. 

If  you  find  a  favorite  topic  after  a  preliminary  general  study,  in¬ 
dulge  yourself,  A  hobby  that  leads  to  intelligent  internationalism  is  worth 
riding, 

II,  The  Group  Course.  -  Groups  may  approach  such  study  in  severa.1  vays. 

They  may  plan  formal  programs  of  papers  upon  various  topics  or  var¬ 
ious  references  on  one  topic. 

They  may  plan  programs  of  reports  and  discussions  upon  a  national¬ 
ity,  with  a  lea  dew  and  with  members  reading  assigned  references  in  advance 
of  tlie  imeeting.  In  such  a  meeting  it  is  well  for  the  leader  or  a  commdttee 
to  summarize  in  concluding  the  program. 


-II-^ 


They  may  plan  activities  worked  out  against  a  background  of  refer¬ 
ence,  Committees  \vill  be  responsible  for  various  references  and  the  whole 
will  be  welded  together  by  a  lea.der.  Such  plans  are  useful  for  girls*  clubs. 

Any  of  the  above  group  plans  may  be  used  in  classes  as  well  as 

clubs. 


Some  Possible  Hobbies 

V^y  not  become  an  authority  in  your  commmity  on  Sv/edish  litera¬ 
ture?  .That  are  its  chavracteid  sties?  \7hat  is  its  history?  Viho  are  its  lead¬ 
ing  writers?  V/hat  works  have  been  translated  into  English? 

(i/hy  not  learn  to  cook  Armenian  dishes  so  that  your  suppers  may  be 
famous  for  enguinar,  pilaf,  or  paklava?  Vyhat  are  the  values  of  Near  Eastern 
cooking? 


'7liy  not  become  an  entertainment  resource  to  your  friends  by  learn¬ 
ing  Mexican  folk  songs?  tl/hat  are  their  charrcceristics?  ’;2hat  instrument 
will  best  accompany  them? 

V/hy  not  study  the  labor  situation  in  Bulgaria?  Itet  is  the  '“Green 
International"?  Vi/hy  are  roses  associated  with  livelihood  there? 

V/hy  not  analyae  the  tangled  situation  in  the  Near  East?  \That  na¬ 
tionalities  are  involved?  Ho'.v  do  they  differ?  TVhat  are  their  relations  to 
European  and  Asiatic  countries?  To  your  o\7n  country? 

ViQiy  not  kncr/7  the  history  of  religion  in  some  one  group  of  European 
countries?  That  has  been  its  relation  to  educaiiion  in  those  countries? 

'That  is  the  history  of  democratic  fellowship  in  them? 


A  Pew  Project  Suggestions 

S''7ric'ns  go  on  pilgrimages.  V/hile  en  route  they  cook  in  the  open 
if  the  weather  is  pleasant.  Did  you  ever  think  that  your  club  might  study 
Syrian  pilgrimages  and  apply  the  study  to  program? 

The  only  prominent  amusement  of  Turks  is  story  telling.  ’.Vouldn’t 
you  like  to  hear  about  the  professional  story  teller  and  his  repertoire? 

After  the  long  hard  day  of  v/ork  in  the  field  the  Hungarian  peasant 
bursts  into  folk  song.  Polk  "sings"  are  a  program  suggestion.  There  may 
be  specialization  on  a  racial  group  or  general  singing* 

Balkan  peoples  dance  the  Horo.  "Folk  Dances  as  a  Form  of  Social 
Recreation"  is  the  name  of  a  new  course  given  in  one  of  our  leading  univer¬ 
sities. 


Ill- 


V/edding  Customs  in  Various  Lands,  or  Bread  I/l&king  in  lEiny  Coun¬ 
tries,  are  topics  for  picture  hunts.  Search  your  home  and  comiTaunity  li¬ 
braries. 

The  Russian  peasant  takes  the  Easter  goodies  to  church  to  be 
blessed  on  Easter  morn.  Can  you  see  any  symbolism  in  this  custom?  Can  you 
^Pply  it  to  your  Easter  plans? 


Increasing  "/orld  Friendship 

Begin  one  or  more  friendships  with  representatives  of  nationali¬ 
ties  other  than  your  ovn.  Relate  your  reading  to  life. 


Measure  Your  Library 

Is  there  a  public  library  in  your  comnunity?  Ctt*  perhaps  you  use 
a  college  library.  How  far  does  it  help  as  a  resource  for  increasing  world 
understanding?  Use  this  handbook  as  an  experimental  measuring  string.  How 
many  of  the  books  and  articles  listed  are  to  be  found  on  the  library  shelves? 
Ho\/  can  you  co-operate  with  the  librarian  and  the  library  board  to  increase 
this  type  of  service?
